Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07751991RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for relapsed AML with specific genetic changes
This trial tests a new drug for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or hasn't responded to standard therapies, and whose leukemia has certain genetic markers. The drug may target these specific changes to help stop the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05254743RecruitingPhase 3
Pirtobrutinib versus ibrutinib for CLL or SLL
This Phase 3 trial compares two oral medicines—pirtobrutinib and ibrutinib—in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who need treatment. It’s designed to see which drug works better and is easier to take, especially for people with a specific genetic change in the cancer (17p deletion).
Cerritos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05183035RecruitingPhase 3
Testing venetoclax for children with relapsed AML
This study tests a drug called venetoclax in children and young adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has returned after treatment. The drug may help block cancer cell growth. The study also looks at safety and how well the drug works when given alone or with other treatments.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 4 weeks–21 years - NCT06317662RecruitingPhase 2
Adding venetoclax and blinatumomab to chemo for infant leukemia
This trial tests adding two newer medicines (venetoclax and blinatumomab) to standard chemotherapy for infants with a specific type of leukemia. The goal is to see if this combination helps more babies stay cancer-free.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges Up to 12 months - NCT05947851RecruitingPhase 3
Nemtabrutinib plus venetoclax versus standard add-on therapy
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding nemtabrutinib to venetoclax works better than the usual next treatment approach (venetoclax plus rituximab) in people with relapsed or treatment-resistant CLL/SLL. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds after at least one prior therapy.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06163430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MK-4208 for chronic myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new pill that may help people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) when other treatments have stopped working or caused side effects. It might offer another option for controlling the disease.

Adding pirtobrutinib to usual treatment for newly diagnosed Richter transformation
This study tests whether adding a targeted drug called pirtobrutinib to the usual chemotherapy for Richter transformation can improve outcomes. It is a phase 3 trial, meaning it compares the new combination to the standard approach, and may help patients live longer or delay progression.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07304011RecruitingPhase 2

Docirbrutinib for CLL or lymphoma after prior treatments
This Phase 1 study tests docirbrutinib, a targeted pill treatment, in people with CLL/SLL or certain other B-cell lymphomas that have come back or didn’t respond to earlier therapy. The goal is to see whether it’s safe and whether it can control the disease after standard treatments have failed.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06229860Recruiting
Personality and CML medication adherence study
This study looks at how a person's personality might affect how well they take their CML medication. It's for people with chronic phase CML who are taking certain targeted therapy pills (imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, or nilotinib).

Study of adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy for pediatric AML

What taking part in a leukemia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
